Matthew

Chapter 6

1 BE careful concerning your alms, not to do them in the presence of men, merely that they may see them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven.

2 Therefore when you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, just as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the market places, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

3 But when you give alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing;

4 So that your alms may be done secretly, and your Father who sees in secret, shall himself reward you openly.

5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who like to pray, standing in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and lock your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret he himself shall reward you openly.

7 And when you pray, do not repeat your words like the pagans, for they think that because of much talking they will be heard.

8 Therefore, do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

9 Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.

11 Give us bread for our needs from day to day.

12 And forgive us our offences, as we have forgiven our offenders;

13 And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver us from error. Because thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

14 For if you forgive men their faults, your Father in heaven will also forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive even your faults.

16 When you fast, do not look sad like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear to men that they are fasting. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

17 But you, when you fast, wash your face and anoint your head;

18 So that it may not appear to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret, he will reward you.

19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures buried in the ground, a place where rust and moth destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.

20 But lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven, where neither rust nor moth destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal.

21 For where your treasure is, there also is your heart.

22 The eye is the lamp of the body; if therefore your eye be clear, your whole body is also lighted.

23 But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how much more will be your darkness.

24 No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and like the other; or he will honor one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (wealth).

25 For this reason, I say to you, Do not worry for your life, what you will eat, and what you will drink, nor for your body, what you will wear. Behold, is not life much more important than food, and the body than clothing?

26 Watch the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, neither do they harvest, nor gather into barns, and yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not much more important than they?

27 Who is among you who by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 Why do you worry about clothing? Observe the wild flowers, how they grow; they do not get tired out, nor do they spin.

29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon with all of his glory was covered like one of them.

30 Now if God clothes in such fashion the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow falls into the fireplace, is he not much more to you, O you of little faith?

31 Therefore do not worry or say, What will we eat, or what will we drink, or with what will we be clothed?

32 For worldly people seek after all these things. Your Father in heaven knows that all of these things are also necessary for you.

33 But you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of these things shall be added to you.

34 Therefore do not worry for tomorrow; for tomorrow will look after its own. Sufficient for each day, is its own trouble.

Matthew

Chapter 6

1 Take heed4337 that you do4160 not your5216 alms1654 before1715 men,444 to be seen2300 of them: otherwise1490 you have2192 no3756 reward3408 of your5216 Father3962 which3588 is in heaven.3772

2 Therefore3767 when3752 you do4160 your alms,1654 do not sound4537 a trumpet4537 before1715 you, as the hypocrites5273 do4160 in the synagogues4864 and in the streets,4505 that they may have glory1392 of men.444 Truly281 I say3004 to you, They have568 their reward.3408

3 But when you do4160 alms,1654 let not your left710 hand know1097 what5101 your right1188 hand does:4160

4 That your4675 alms1654 may be in secret:2927 and your Father3962 which3588 sees991 in secret2927 himself846 shall reward591 you openly.1722

5 And when3752 you pray,4336 you shall not be as the hypocrites5273 are: for they love5368 to pray4336 standing2476 in the synagogues4864 and in the corners1137 of the streets,4113 that they may be seen5316 of men.444 Truly281 I say3004 to you, They have568 their reward.3408

6 But you, when3752 you pray,4336 enter1525 into1519 your closet,5009 and when you have shut2808 your door,2374 pray4336 to your Father3962 which3588 is in secret;2927 and your Father3962 which3588 sees991 in secret2927 shall reward591 you openly.1722

7 But when you pray,4336 use not vain repetitions,945 as the heathen1482 do: for they think1380 that they shall be heard1522 for their much4180 speaking.4180

8 Be not you therefore3767 like3666 to them: for your5216 Father3962 knows1492 what3739 things you have2192 need5532 of, before4253 you ask154 him.

9 After3779 this3779 manner3779 therefore3767 pray4336 you: Our Father3962 which3588 are in heaven,3772 Hallowed37 be your name.3686

10 Your kingdom932 come,2064 Your will2307 be done1096 in earth,1093 as it is in heaven.3772

11 Give1325 us this4594 day4594 our daily1967 bread.740

12 And forgive863 us our debts,3783 as we forgive863 our debtors.3781

13 And lead1533 us not into1519 temptation,3986 but deliver4506 us from evil:4190 For your4675 is the kingdom,932 and the power,1411 and the glory,1391 for ever.165 Amen.281

14 For if1437 you forgive863 men444 their trespasses,3900 your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 will also2532 forgive863 you:

15 But if1437 you forgive863 not men444 their trespasses,3900 neither3761 will your5216 Father3962 forgive863 your5216 trespasses.3900

16 Moreover1161 when3752 you fast,3522 be not, as the hypocrites,5273 of a sad4659 countenance:4659 for they disfigure853 their faces,4383 that they may appear5316 to men444 to fast.3522 Truly281 I say3004 to you, They have568 their reward.3408

17 But you, when you fast,3522 anoint218 your4675 head,2776 and wash3538 your face;4383

18 That you appear5316 not to men444 to fast,3522 but to your Father3962 which3588 is in secret:2927 and your Father,3962 which3588 sees991 in secret,2927 shall reward591 you openly.1722

19 Lay not up for yourselves5213 treasures2344 on earth,1093 where3699 moth4597 and rust1035 does corrupt,853 and where3699 thieves2812 break1358 through1358 and steal:2813

20 But lay up for yourselves5213 treasures2344 in heaven,3772 where3699 neither3777 moth4597 nor3777 rust1035 does corrupt,853 and where3699 thieves2812 do not break1358 through1358 nor3761 steal:2813

21 For where3699 your5216 treasure2344 is, there1563 will your5216 heart2588 be also.2532

22 The light5460 of the body4983 is the eye:3788 if1437 therefore3767 your4675 eye3788 be single,573 your whole3650 body4983 shall be full5460 of light.3088

23 But if1487 your4675 eye3788 be evil,4190 your whole3650 body4983 shall be full5460 of darkness.4652 If1487 therefore3767 the light5457 that is in you be darkness,4655 how4214 great4214 is that darkness!4655

24 No3762 man3762 can1410 serve1398 two1417 masters:2962 for either2228 he will hate3404 the one,1520 and love25 the other;2087 or2228 else he will hold472 to the one,1520 and despise2706 the other.2087 You cannot3756 1410 serve1398 God2316 and mammon.3126

25 Therefore1223 5124 I say3004 to you, Take no3361 thought3309 for your5216 life,5590 what5101 you shall eat,5315 or what5101 you shall drink;4095 nor3366 yet for your5216 body,4983 what5101 you shall put1746 on.1746 Is not the life5590 more4119 than meat,5160 and the body4983 than raiment?1742

26 Behold1689 the fowls4071 of the air:3772 for they sow4687 not, neither3761 do they reap,2325 nor3761 gather4863 into1519 barns;596 yet your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 feeds5142 them. Are you not much3123 better1308 than they?

27 Which5101 of you by taking thought3309 can1410 add4369 one1520 cubit4083 to his stature?2244

28 And why5101 take you thought3309 for raiment?1742 Consider2648 the lilies2918 of the field,68 how4459 they grow;837 they toil2872 not, neither3761 do they spin:3514

29 And yet I say3004 to you, That even3761 Solomon4672 in all3956 his glory1391 was not arrayed4016 like5613 one1520 of these.5130

30 Why,1161 if1487 God2316 so3779 clothe294 the grass5528 of the field,68 which to day4594 is, and to morrow839 is cast906 into1519 the oven,2823 shall he not much4183 more3123 clothe you, O you of little3640 faith?3640

31 Therefore3767 take no3361 thought,3309 saying,3004 What5101 shall we eat?5315 or,2228 What5101 shall we drink?4095 or,2228 Wherewithal5101 shall we be clothed?4016

32 (For after1934 all537 these5023 things do the Gentiles1484 seek:1934) for your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 knows1492 that you have need5535 of all3956 these5130 things.

33 But seek2212 you first4412 the kingdom932 of God,2316 and his righteousness;1343 and all3956 these5023 things shall be added4369 to you.

34 Take therefore3767 no3361 thought3309 for the morrow:839 for the morrow839 shall take thought3309 for the things of itself.1438 Sufficient713 to the day2250 is the evil2549 thereof.846

2 Therefore when you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, just as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the market places, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

2 Therefore3767 when3752 you do4160 your alms,1654 do not sound4537 a trumpet4537 before1715 you, as the hypocrites5273 do4160 in the synagogues4864 and in the streets,4505 that they may have glory1392 of men.444 Truly281 I say3004 to you, They have568 their reward.3408

3 But when you give alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing;

3 But when you do4160 alms,1654 let not your left710 hand know1097 what5101 your right1188 hand does:4160

4 So that your alms may be done secretly, and your Father who sees in secret, shall himself reward you openly.

4 That your4675 alms1654 may be in secret:2927 and your Father3962 which3588 sees991 in secret2927 himself846 shall reward591 you openly.1722

5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who like to pray, standing in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

7 And when you pray, do not repeat your words like the pagans, for they think that because of much talking they will be heard.

7 But when you pray,4336 use not vain repetitions,945 as the heathen1482 do: for they think1380 that they shall be heard1522 for their much4180 speaking.4180

8 Therefore, do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

8 Be not you therefore3767 like3666 to them: for your5216 Father3962 knows1492 what3739 things you have2192 need5532 of, before4253 you ask154 him.

9 Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

9 After3779 this3779 manner3779 therefore3767 pray4336 you: Our Father3962 which3588 are in heaven,3772 Hallowed37 be your name.3686

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.

10 Your kingdom932 come,2064 Your will2307 be done1096 in earth,1093 as it is in heaven.3772

11 Give us bread for our needs from day to day.

11 Give1325 us this4594 day4594 our daily1967 bread.740

12 And forgive us our offences, as we have forgiven our offenders;

12 And forgive863 us our debts,3783 as we forgive863 our debtors.3781

13 And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver us from error. Because thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And lead1533 us not into1519 temptation,3986 but deliver4506 us from evil:4190 For your4675 is the kingdom,932 and the power,1411 and the glory,1391 for ever.165 Amen.281

14 For if you forgive men their faults, your Father in heaven will also forgive you.

14 For if1437 you forgive863 men444 their trespasses,3900 your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 will also2532 forgive863 you:

15 But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive even your faults.

15 But if1437 you forgive863 not men444 their trespasses,3900 neither3761 will your5216 Father3962 forgive863 your5216 trespasses.3900

16 When you fast, do not look sad like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear to men that they are fasting. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

16 Moreover1161 when3752 you fast,3522 be not, as the hypocrites,5273 of a sad4659 countenance:4659 for they disfigure853 their faces,4383 that they may appear5316 to men444 to fast.3522 Truly281 I say3004 to you, They have568 their reward.3408

17 But you, when you fast, wash your face and anoint your head;

17 But you, when you fast,3522 anoint218 your4675 head,2776 and wash3538 your face;4383

18 So that it may not appear to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret, he will reward you.

18 That you appear5316 not to men444 to fast,3522 but to your Father3962 which3588 is in secret:2927 and your Father,3962 which3588 sees991 in secret,2927 shall reward591 you openly.1722

19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures buried in the ground, a place where rust and moth destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.

19 Lay not up for yourselves5213 treasures2344 on earth,1093 where3699 moth4597 and rust1035 does corrupt,853 and where3699 thieves2812 break1358 through1358 and steal:2813

20 But lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven, where neither rust nor moth destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal.

20 But lay up for yourselves5213 treasures2344 in heaven,3772 where3699 neither3777 moth4597 nor3777 rust1035 does corrupt,853 and where3699 thieves2812 do not break1358 through1358 nor3761 steal:2813

21 For where your treasure is, there also is your heart.

21 For where3699 your5216 treasure2344 is, there1563 will your5216 heart2588 be also.2532

22 The eye is the lamp of the body; if therefore your eye be clear, your whole body is also lighted.

22 The light5460 of the body4983 is the eye:3788 if1437 therefore3767 your4675 eye3788 be single,573 your whole3650 body4983 shall be full5460 of light.3088

23 But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how much more will be your darkness.

23 But if1487 your4675 eye3788 be evil,4190 your whole3650 body4983 shall be full5460 of darkness.4652 If1487 therefore3767 the light5457 that is in you be darkness,4655 how4214 great4214 is that darkness!4655

24 No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and like the other; or he will honor one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (wealth).

24 No3762 man3762 can1410 serve1398 two1417 masters:2962 for either2228 he will hate3404 the one,1520 and love25 the other;2087 or2228 else he will hold472 to the one,1520 and despise2706 the other.2087 You cannot3756 1410 serve1398 God2316 and mammon.3126

25 For this reason, I say to you, Do not worry for your life, what you will eat, and what you will drink, nor for your body, what you will wear. Behold, is not life much more important than food, and the body than clothing?

25 Therefore1223 5124 I say3004 to you, Take no3361 thought3309 for your5216 life,5590 what5101 you shall eat,5315 or what5101 you shall drink;4095 nor3366 yet for your5216 body,4983 what5101 you shall put1746 on.1746 Is not the life5590 more4119 than meat,5160 and the body4983 than raiment?1742

26 Watch the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, neither do they harvest, nor gather into barns, and yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not much more important than they?

26 Behold1689 the fowls4071 of the air:3772 for they sow4687 not, neither3761 do they reap,2325 nor3761 gather4863 into1519 barns;596 yet your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 feeds5142 them. Are you not much3123 better1308 than they?

27 Who is among you who by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

27 Which5101 of you by taking thought3309 can1410 add4369 one1520 cubit4083 to his stature?2244

28 Why do you worry about clothing? Observe the wild flowers, how they grow; they do not get tired out, nor do they spin.

28 And why5101 take you thought3309 for raiment?1742 Consider2648 the lilies2918 of the field,68 how4459 they grow;837 they toil2872 not, neither3761 do they spin:3514

29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon with all of his glory was covered like one of them.

29 And yet I say3004 to you, That even3761 Solomon4672 in all3956 his glory1391 was not arrayed4016 like5613 one1520 of these.5130

30 Now if God clothes in such fashion the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow falls into the fireplace, is he not much more to you, O you of little faith?

30 Why,1161 if1487 God2316 so3779 clothe294 the grass5528 of the field,68 which to day4594 is, and to morrow839 is cast906 into1519 the oven,2823 shall he not much4183 more3123 clothe you, O you of little3640 faith?3640

31 Therefore do not worry or say, What will we eat, or what will we drink, or with what will we be clothed?

31 Therefore3767 take no3361 thought,3309 saying,3004 What5101 shall we eat?5315 or,2228 What5101 shall we drink?4095 or,2228 Wherewithal5101 shall we be clothed?4016

32 For worldly people seek after all these things. Your Father in heaven knows that all of these things are also necessary for you.

32 (For after1934 all537 these5023 things do the Gentiles1484 seek:1934) for your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 knows1492 that you have need5535 of all3956 these5130 things.

33 But you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of these things shall be added to you.

33 But seek2212 you first4412 the kingdom932 of God,2316 and his righteousness;1343 and all3956 these5023 things shall be added4369 to you.

34 Therefore do not worry for tomorrow; for tomorrow will look after its own. Sufficient for each day, is its own trouble.

34 Take therefore3767 no3361 thought3309 for the morrow:839 for the morrow839 shall take thought3309 for the things of itself.1438 Sufficient713 to the day2250 is the evil2549 thereof.846
